How to choose solar panels in Buffalo
New York is one of the top 10 states producing solar power, with over 119,000 installations as of mid-2019, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association. There are many benefits of solar panels in Buffalo:
- Use of a renewable, plentiful, sustainable energy source
- Cost savings
- Lower greenhouse gas emissions
- Increased home value
- Federal and New York State tax credits
When considering whether to use solar panels in Buffalo, residents have a number of different considerations:
- Assessment of solar potential, including how much energy can be produced at your home
- The age and condition of your roof
- Neighborhood or homeowners association restrictions
- Whether to buy, lease or enter into a power purchase agreement
Residential solar panels are installed either on a roof or on the ground. Rooftop installations are more popular and less expensive. There are several different types of solar panels in Buffalo:
